Impeachment - Now More Than Ever

It's been 7 months since Nancy Pelosi took impeachment "off the table". We've heard all the Republican talking points adopted by the corporatists wing of the Democratic Party (DLC): "we don't want to put the country through an impeachment proceeding", "Bush is almost out of office so what's the point?", "Impeach Bush, then we get stuck with Cheney". These talking points put out by Republicans have somehow become the platform of the Democratic Party.

There seems to be this pervasive mindset in the leadership of the Democratic Party that somehow impeachment is a dirty word. And no, we won't get "stuck" with Cheney, he needs to be impeached too. In fact to a certain degree, Kucinich may be right in going after Cheney first.

Our country cannot suffer another minute with the Bush Cheney rogue nation. It's not too late to impeach Bush and Cheney. It will never be too late. Ten years after they leave office it STILL will not be too late. They need to be made an example out of so that future Presidents do not try to assert absolute power. If we do nothing, we are telling future Presidents that they are basically dictators who can do as they please.

Look at the amount of damage Bush and Cheney have done just over the last 7 months let alone the next year and a half. Every minute we wait is a minute we move closer to a dictatorship.

We now have a situation where both Bush and Cheney are asserting some make believe right over official documents that the public and our government have a right to. They're classifying documents that were previously unclassified, unclassifying documents that can hurt their political enemies, shredding documents that implement them in vote caging, the U.S. Attorney scandal, the torture at Abu Ghraib and Gitmo, and fabircated prewar intelligence.

Bush and Cheney are sitting on a mountain of paper that all points back to them. From Cheney's "energy task force" that devised the invasion of Iraq to Bush's nonchalent attitude over the Presidential Daily Briefings prior to 9/11 titled Bin Laden Determined to Strike in the U.S. August 6, 2001, they can't classify and shred documents fast enough.
